The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2103

[2067 Life Entangled]

“I’m serious. I drove over from New Orleans because I missed you, just to see your eyes.”

Renly’s deep voice tugged softly like a cello, and Rooney couldn’t help but think.

The laziness and sexiness of the early morning time appeared, the curves of the body wrapped in the white sheets were up and down, the voice just woke up was slightly hoarse, and the languid tone was like feathers blowing in the ears, and I couldn’t help but start to blush. When he got up, the shyness that made his hands and feet curl up instantly swept from his toes to the top of his head.

Before she realized it, Rooney closed her eyes. Although she was sure that the relationship was about to turn its first anniversary, the throbbing of her heart was still surging. She had to force herself to open her eyes and try to stare with round eyes. Looking at Renly, “Foul, you’re a foul!”

“It’s just the two of us now, what’s a foul.” Renly’s rare act of humiliation made Rooney itch involuntarily.

But this time Rooney didn’t take her eyes away, but carefully painted Ren Li’s facial features with her eyes, and the nostalgia in the depths of her eyes gently surged, “You’ve lost weight.” Rooney felt a little distressed.

Renly was originally a sturdy type, and looked very thin when wearing clothes, but now, the lines of Renly’s face have become thinner and thinner. Obviously, this period of time has been hard filming and psychological torment. The thin face lines became more and more tense.

The corners of Renly’s mouth twitched slightly, “I’ll try to get fat. Trust me, I’m really trying.”

Rooney could catch the lowness in Renly’s voice, “They’re not worth it, you know? ?”

Renly and Rooney knew exactly who they were referring to, even though they were clueless.

“Yeah. I know.” Renly nodded lightly, but this time, he didn’t continue to cover it up, and a shallow smile was drawn from the corner of his mouth, “But even if you know, some things are still that simple after all, it seems , I’m still a mortal after all.”

Rooney chuckled, “Fortunately, if you weren’t, I wouldn’t be able to accompany you. You don’t know how much effort it took for me to stand by your side without being as small as possible? ?” Rooney wrinkled her nose and squinted her eyes, and said with some exaggeration, “Really very, very hard! Occasionally, you can let me know that you are not so perfect, do you know how happy I am?”

That funny And the relaxed tone made Renly’s smile brighter.

After the joke was over, Rooney continued, “Renly, we’re allowed to hate them too.” They were like parents.

Renly’s smile still hung on the corner of his mouth,

But there was a little sadness in the depths of his eyes, “I know.” Even so, the weight of this sentence weighed heavily on my heart, making the whole person relax, “By the way, after Toronto, I will Back in London, Arthur arranged a charity auction, would you like to attend?”

Charity auction!

Although Renly did not explain in detail, Rooney immediately understood that it was the occasion when Renly announced his return to London, and it was also the clarion call for Renly to officially declare war.

The willingness to invite Rooney to attend also means she will make her first official appearance – whether or not she is present as Renly’s girlfriend, Rooney will officially face Renly’s family, at least, she can see Arthur, and possibly also There were Edith and Elf, even George and Elizabeth.

Letting out a long breath, Rooney’s expression was slightly nervous.

Renly couldn’t help chuckling, which made Rooney protest, “I’m fine, I’m really fine, I’m just not used to it. You know, the hereditary aristocrats in London always dislike us upstarts. ”

So, this time you’re Jack and I’m Ruth?” Rooney was stunned for a moment by Renly’s interpretation, and then she couldn’t help clapping her hands and laughing, unable to stop.

Looking at the calm and calm Renly, Rooney knew that there were still some waves in his heart, and she needed to accompany him unswervingly, “Do you need me to donate any auction items? I mean, in a private name. ; In addition, I can also gather some friends to go to London to participate in the auction, you know, everyone always wants to contribute to charity.”

Rooney also knows the meaning of charity auction.

Ostensibly an auction for charity, it is actually a networking showcase for the elite and high society.

For example, Renly invited the guests that no one else could invite; Renly got the auction collection that no one else could. This is soft power.

For another example, it is impossible for a person of Prince William’s level to attend a charity auction casually-because the royal family can’t splurge on expenses at will, and all expenses must be reported, but he attended Renly’s auction, This is irreplaceable glory.

In other words, holding a charity auction in the name of Renly, the quality of the guests present, the value of the auction items, the total amount of the transaction amount… and so on, all are fame other than money, and this is also the lady of the upper class. We are busy with things every day. Don’t underestimate the power of women in the family composition. They are often able to create value for their husbands that cannot be measured by money.

Rooney not only attended the charity auction by herself, but also invited her friends from her life circle to attend, so the weight is not trivial –

don’t forget, Rooney is backed by the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants, two top teams in global market value. owner’s family.

The Rooney family’s connections far exceed the abilities of George Hall, a poor hereditary baron, and even Renly, who is rooted in Eton, may not be able to match.

“Are you sure?” Ren Li asked, because he knew very well that using family connections was a very annoying and frustrating thing. The whole family knew it from top to bottom, and then they had to accept all kinds of interrogation and torture, and it was endless.

Rooney understood immediately, “Don’t worry, I still have some friends. My family relationship is very complicated, but it’s simpler than you, and we don’t usually interfere with each other’s lives. , because the family members are really too complex and too numerous. I should have never told you that there are twelve brothers and sisters on my father’s side. Believe me, the last thing we want to interfere with is each other’s lives.”

Twelve indivual.

Renly pursed his lips into a meaningful expression, which made Rooney laugh happily, “Now the question is, are you sure? If there is a wedding, it should be spectacular.”

“Wedding? Oh Are we progressing so fast now? Wow, I can’t keep up.” Renly raised his eyebrows and said exaggeratedly.

Only then did Rooney realize her mistake, “Example, give an example, I just gave an example.” But seeing Renly’s half-smiley expression, Rooney was also frustrated, lying on the bed angrily, with her hands flat. Reaching out, he seemed to make a homage – or a gesture of surrender, and muttered gloomily, “I’m really just an example.”

“It’s really sad, don’t you want to marry me?” Renly’s deep voice rang in his ears again.

Pfft!

Puff, puff, puff!

Rooney’s muscles tensed up all over her body, the anticipation and excitement were like electricity, her whole body began to numb, her happiness exploded like this, she was shy and happy; but after only a moment, Rooney suddenly became numb. Sitting up straight, her eyes were rounded like a puffer fish, “You did it on purpose, right?”

Looking at Renly’s innocent expression, Rooney was keenly aware of the abnormality, “Every time you talk sweetly, , you will deliberately lower your voice so that your voice is like a cello, with the mellow aroma of red wine. To be honest, this is your killer trick to please girls, right?”

“Red wine. Um… Thanks for the compliment, I Why didn’t you notice it before?” Renly’s focus seemed to be completely shifted, which made Rooney bite her lower lip tightly, raised her hand to pick up the pillow on the bed, and smashed it at Renly, but she didn’t have any strength. As soon as he made his feet, the pillow was directly embraced by Renly.

Rooney was also stunned.

At this moment, there was a knock at the door, and Rooney, who was about to stand up, stopped immediately, and inexplicably began to hold her breath and stop her movements, lest others discover the secret between her and Renly. , “Rooney, we’re ready, the five-minute countdown.”

“Cough cough.” Rooney cleared her throat, “Okay, I get it, I’ll be down right away.” When she raised her voice to answer, Rooney listened quietly again, and heard the footsteps outside the door gradually. After drifting away, she realized, “You suddenly came to visit the class, what if you were spotted by everyone? Wait, what if the paparazzi followed you to Cincinnati? Your driving skills, UU Kanshu www.sonicmtl.com Paparazzi If you want to follow, there is no difficulty at all.”

“Hey!” Renly protested again, then stood up and walked towards Rooney with a smile, hugging her petite body into his chest, ” Don’t worry, they won’t find out, and even if they do, they won’t say much. I came here specially to visit you and Kate, remember? I’m also good friends with Kate, and Kate will cover for us Yes

.”

“What? Kate? Kate knows?” Rooney was keenly aware of the details in Renly’s words, and couldn’t help exclaiming again, “How did she know?”

Renly lifted Rooney’s head up He pressed down lightly and leaned on his chest, “Don’t worry, we just need to let nature take its course. If you find out, then admit it frankly, it’s not ‘Carol’ or ‘Brokeback Mountain’ , this is not the 1950s, we don’t need to be so nervous.”

Renly’s light and joking words made Rooney laugh again, her mood gradually calmed down, and Renly’s calm and powerful voice could be heard in her ears. The sound of her heartbeat, bang bang bang, hit her eardrums one after another, as if the whole world was quiet, and only the heartbeat in her ears remained.
